57-60
Just wanted to drop a line and see if any body has a 57-60 Ford truck. Id like to here from you. Tell me about your truck. If its a project tell me what stage your in or if you just bought one what are your plans.
My own truck is a 1960 F-350 ,DRW, 292,T-98a 4 speed, Corinthian white, 9800 G.V.W, 5.14 rear gear, It was built in Chicago Ill. It has a 130 inch wheel base.
My plans are to redo the truck from the frame up. But I wont call it a full blown restoration. After its done Im going to drive it.
Even if you dont have a 57-60 Id still like to here from you. thanks to all.

I had a 57 F100 until about 4 years ago. Parts are very hard to find. I took off on a very ambitious restomod and got into a big pickle. I literally gave it away to get it out of my yard. I wish I had the 5.0 and AOD back for my 54 though!

Yea I know about the weight, had a guy call me up one day, got my number from a friend, said he had two old ford motors he would like to get rid of. He didnt want no money, just come and get them, he didnt know the size. So I went, turn out they were complete 292s. They both turned over by hand so I took them. When I loaded them up it sit my F-150 on the ground. I know now, next time I get a call Im going to hook up the trailer. It was a good thing I didnt show up in my ranger. HAHAHAHAHA
The 5.0 sounds sweet. Stay in touch with me, let me know how its going. Later!
